Is this trip right for you?

No two journeys in Africa are identical. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days. Be prepared for travel times to be longer or shorter than advised. Weather and road conditions can change things significantly, so embrace the detours, shortcuts, and unforgettable moments along the way.

This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your tent, occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of iconic African wildlife.

This trip was truly incredible. From the friendly team led by Joseph, to wild camping in the Serengeti and being visited by elephant at night, we had an amazing time. I would book again in a heartbeat.

This trip was such an amazing experience from start to finish. Camping most nights made it feel so real and exciting, we would go to sleep with the sounds of the animals all around and wake up to some of the most beautiful sunrises ive ever seen. The guides were great at spotting things we would’ve missed and shared so much about the animals and the culture in the local area. Plus, traveling in a small group made it feel friendly and fun, like we were all sharing the adventure together. It’s the kind of trip that feels once-in-a-lifetime, and I’d say anyone who loves nature, animals, and adventure would love it.
